Extraordinarily delicious food.
Pricey but you get what you pay for.
They prefer that you have a reservation even if the restaurant is empty so book in advance.

From the moment that we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted with the vibrant and charismatic service of the waiting staff. Seated in an exceptional position of the restaurant by our award winning waiter Armani. The meal was incredible, packed with flavor and depth, the chefs could not be faulted on any facet of their work. The two of us enjoyed a slow and hearty bottle of Cab Sav, that paired phenomenally, with our two meals. The environment curated by David and his team of miracle workers was nothing short of revolutionary. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fast bite or a delightful and luxurious dinner. Come to A Tavola for the food, stay for the unmatched curatorship of a loving family environment. Shoutout Armani. Big ups brother!
“At the table” is what A Tavola translates to. We sat, all 8 of us chattering away in our usual noisy manner until the food arrived. It was delicious. 3 of us ordered the mushroom pasta with truffle sauce and we all licked our plates to show appreciation once done. Well not really but you know what I mean. I wished there had been more. It was a teeny helping and I’m not a big eater but I could have had another whole plate. (Hence the rating of 4 above). To my right a pasta dish of rabbit was served and across from me a prawn pasta. All were devoured. In short the food was beautifully flavoured and presented.
The service is excellent too. Well mannered waiters are always the sign of a great restaurant.

Always a lovely, local, eatery to visit. The food is always consistent and there are always secret specials, over and above the menu offerings, if you ask. Exceptional wine list.
First time visit and suitably impressed. This is how a restaurant should be run - attentive but unobtrusive management and waiters.
Good menu selection, including some old favorites that aren’t that popular anymore. Fantastic wine list, with a great selection by the glass - many restaurants could use this wine list as an example of how to do it right.
Our waitress was knowledgeable and highly proficient. Well-heeled crowd, who were obviously enjoying themselves on a Wednesday night.
My spaghetti vongole was fantastic but could have been a slightly bigger portion (more clams!). The SO devoured her line fish (kabeljou) and pronounced it to be excellent (even though she’s a salmon fan).
No time for dessert, unfortunately, so we will have to go back.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Service was great- food great and a really cosy atmosphere. We were a late ish walk in on a Monday evening about 8 pm as a group of four and we're greeted really warmly.
Food tasted GREAT.
Portions are generous and wine selection is fantastic.

Cosy Italian restaurant, haven't been back for over a year (lockdown). The service is wonderful and our meals arrived so quickly!
Dessert was delicious!!!
Only downside is my hair and clothes smells like the food from the open kitchen...haha!

A wonderful restaurant that was busy and had a great atmosphere. They have a large menu as well as specials - so there is something for everyone. The food was absolutely divine from the starters to dessert. A favourite at our table was the Linguine Gamberoni! The desserts were also delicious, I loved the Torta di Cioccolato. The staff were attentive despite how busy it was. I will definitely return.
